DCCB employees cry foul with TGSCAB management for neglecting the DCCBs, which are its main source of income
TGSCAB authorities had increased their salaries, allowances and perks more than the commercial bank employees
HYDERABAD, JUNE 22, 2025: Employees of District Cooperative Central Banks of (DCCB) Telangana state are expressing anger and frustration over disparities in wage revision by the Telangana State Cooperative Apex Bank (TGSCAB).
Even as the TSCAB authorities had ensured that their pay revision was completed in October 2024, the DCCBs have been waiting for the wage revision since November 1, 2022. This dissatisfaction stems from perceived unfairness in compensation practices and the financial strain caused by delayed or inconsistent pay.
Thanks to the lethargy on the part of TGSCAB chairman M Ravinder Rao and its Managing Director YK Rao, the TSCAB officials have increased their salaries and allowances exorbitantly, violating all the norms. The TGSCAB employees have increased their salaries, allowances and other perks more than the commercial banks, irking the DCCB employees, who have been demanding that the management provide their legitimate salary, which is pending since November 2022.
When compared to the DCCBs, which had diversified their business activities and increased their revenues, the TGSCAB is solely dependent on DCCBs by lending loans and fleecing them. Out of the total business of the TGSCAB, they were doing business of more than 66 per cent with DCCBs by lending loans and other financial support. Ironically, in the Metropolitan city of Hyderabad, the TGSCAB has only 45 branches and does business only by lending loans to DCCBs and earning profits.
There are several allegations against the TGSCAB, also like increasing the AGM cadre posts to 53 against the norms of 22 AGM posts. When compared to the business of TGSCAB branches, they are less than the Karimnagar DCCB, which has emerged as a role model in the cooperative sector banking services.
The DCCB employee says that their wage revision was almost finalised after holding several parleys. But, the TGSCAB officials had been purposefully delaying the acceptance of the new pay revision and ill-treating the DCCB employees.
They also flayed the TGSCAB chairman and Managing Director for blinding singing the agreement to increase the salary of the TGSCAB employees, which was against norms, as they were getting salaries and other benefits more than the commercial banks without doing any business and solely relying on the DCCBs.
